Go Nara instead of Kyoto? If you are more of a architecture and culture person Kyoto is very fitting but Nara will be more suitable if you like animals, especially deers ( think: Bambi).

Day 2 may be quite rush unless you only target Nanzenji but not Path of Philosophy; and Kiyomizudera but not surrounding area aka Higashiyama.

The hanatouro is my main objective in kyoto. Looks too good.
Kyoto Arashiyama Hanatouro 2013

Day 2 may be quite rush unless you only target Nanzenji but not Path of Philosophy; and Kiyomizudera but not surrounding area aka Higashiyama.

Yes kyoto seems rushed. Probably only nazenji (coz i really want to eat tofu ) and arashiyama for hanatouro.

Chose dotonbori for day 1 evening coz near to hotel. Okay will reconsider.

I went for the hanatouro in 2011 I think. Or 2012. But yes it's amazing. It only starts at night so you have the day for more sightseeing. one day is too short man for Kyoto unless you aren't into all the old temples and just want to shop.

oops, i misread and thought that ur hotel is in umeda. day 1 is fine then coz dotonbori is near namba. if u cant finish covering namba on 21 dec, can always do so on 24 dec since it is near ur hotel
